He said His Dad bought the tractor new from a dealer in North central Illinois. The seat sat on a normal 88 mount, but had two hoses from the radiator plumed to the side of it. I said it sounded like aftermarket, that maybe somebody ordered and then didn"t take, but He swore His Dad had bought it off the lot, brand new in 1953. [Reply]   [No Email]

He had a heated tractor seat from the Warm Seat Co., Cedar Rapids, Iowa. I tried searching the company, but no luck. [Reply]  [No Email]

It had a valve on it like a faucet on the outside of a house to controle the water flow. It worked great! The only time it ever caused any trouble was when I fired the tractor up on a below zero day and my a-- was frozen. I opened the valve and hooked on to the feed grinder and had just started grinding when my tank wagon agent showed up with furnace fuel. I talked to him and got warmed up wile the grinder was running. when I went back to the tractor all that was left of the vinal seat cover was a pile of goo and the draw string. Im not so sure it didnt say tractor supply on the bottom. [Reply]  [No Email]

I asked about that and He said there was a shutoff valve close to the seat. Said that seat would get pretty hot, especially if you turned it on for a cold morning, then it warmed up in the PM.
